Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治眼多冷淚. 木賊ㆍ木耳 燒存性 等分, 爲末, 每二錢, 熱米泔調下. 《入門》

Translation

Treats much cold tearing of the eye. Horsetail and tree ear burnt with its nature retained, in equal parts; powder them and take 2 don at a time stirred into hot rice-washing water. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · An)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Two medicinals and both of them dry — horsetail, which the chapter uses for anything on the eye, and a charred tree fungus. The smallest of the three formulas given for cold tearing, and the one meant to be kept on hand. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
